Just saw this brilliant doco on the rise and fall of Kodak Australia.
From a bloke hand-coating glass plates in a Melbourne cellar in 1884, to the massive Coburg factory pumping out film for the whole Asia-Pacific, employing thousands and capturing Aussie life for 120 years.
Then digital killed it overnight. Last roll came off the line in 2004 with barely a word.
The silent factories of our industrial past... gone, but not forgotten.
Worth a watch if you’re from Melbourne or just love our manufacturing history.
